As for McKenna, if all things are equal and there's minimal separation between the top 4 picks, I think you absolutely take him if he's available. Having a potential star who openly wants to be here available to draft is not something we get very often around these parts.

I don't really get wanting someone to be a career Flame. Never have. If the player is useful and still wants to be here, great. If they are aging, and not really aligned to the direction of the team then its probably best for everyone to move on.
Backlund, or anyone else for that matter playing 1-2 seasons elsewhere at the end of a career does nothing to taint their legacy as a Flame. Case in point Giordano, Iginla etc.
